How to install the Lyx 2.0 Beta ?

Post by Kamelot3 »

Hello,

i have currently installed the latest stable version of Lyx 1.6.8.
I am using Linux Mint 9.

I would like to check out the latest Lyx 2.0. Beta 3. How can i install it?
I dont know what to doy with the binaries from here:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.0/beta3/

Is it possible to add this as a source @ "software sources" so it will be checked and installed automaticaly?

Cheers!

As I can see there are no binaries, but sources. That means you have to compile them. Read INSTALL instructions, see what you are missing in development packages (usually running ./config ) and in compilation is successful you may install lyx.
